Game won't lauch on linux

[Onairda]

Hey, I just bought the game 2 days ago, and after waiting 24hrs for denuvo to check my PC I still can't play the game. I used my gaming linux laptop with PoPOS to play.

The way it don't lauch is weird, the game ask first if I want compatility mode or not, and then steam says that it's launching the game but nothing appears and suddenly steam is not launching anymore with no error message.

If anyone have an idea of what's going on it would be awesome

Try launchoptions:
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr gamemoderun %command%

And use proton-ge instead of native proton. In almost all cases proton-ge is better.

I never had a denuvo check at all. I'm on EndeavourOS, playing the game since launch with no issues.

im on Linux Mint, been playing since launch with no problems. just used proton experimental and it works

If your GPU is Polaris, Vega or RDNA1 based, you may need the launch option:
RADV_PERFTEST=emulate_rt %command%
to actually start the game. Updating Mesa to the latest version may help, too - anything more recent than 24.0 should work, but I'd recommend 24.2.3.
Note that if you're running Vega on a laptop, you're probably using integrated graphics - game is going to be really slow, but you can improve things by:
- increasing allocated video memory in BIOS/UEFI
- running a light desktop environment like Xfce with compositing disabled.
On integrated Vega 8 (like my Ryzen 4800U), allocating 2 Gb of RAM, reducing details to Low, resolution to 720p made the game quite playable at 30 fps - which is quite a feat on a 4 years old integrated GPU. No, I didn't use frame generation nor did I use upscaling - those are VRAM intensive and at 720p, not worht it.
